electrical WA R N I N G The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the product’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. DOUBLE INSULATED Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
electrical WA R N I N G Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. WA R N I N G Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use the product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
KNOW YOUR PRESSURE WASHER The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules. (See Figure 2.
ASSEMBLY WA R N I N G Do not use this product if any parts on the Packing List are already assembled to your product when you unpack it.

assembly conecting the water supPly to the presSure washer (See Figure 3.) C A U T I O N : Always observe all local regulations when connnecting hoses to the water main. Some areas have restrictions against connecting directly to public drinking water supply to prevent the feedback of chemicals into the drinking water supply. Direct connection through a receiver tank or backflow preventer is usually permitted. Fig. 3 The water supply must come from a water main.
assembly USING THE TELESCOPING HANDLE (See Figure 4.) • To use the telescopic handle, pull up on it until the pins click into position. • To store the handle, push the spring pins in, and press down on the handle. Fig. 4 INSTALLING the spray wand (See Figure 5.) • to assemble the pressure washer wand, insert the upper half into the lower half, and twist. Fig. 5 CONNECTING HIGH PRESSURE hose TO TRIGGER HANDLE (See Figure 6.) • Connect the high pressure hose to the trigger handle.
assembly DUAL DETERGENT TANKS (See Figure 7.) • Insert the male bayonet end of the bottle into the female bayonet outlet firmly. • While pushing in the bottle firmly, turn clockwise until tabs lock into place to ensure a leakfree connection. • Fill bottle with approved pressure washer detergents / soaps only.

troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Motor will not start. On/Off switch is in the “OFF” (O) position. Turn switch to the “ON” ( | ) position. Power cord is not plugged in. Plug in power cord. Extension cord is too long. Extension cord is not proper gauge. Extension cord is damaged. Replace extension cord with either a 25’ (7.6 m) 14 AWG cord or a 50’ (15 m) 14 AWG cord. Electrical outlet does not sup- Try a different outlet. ply adequate power. Unit does not reach high pressure.
troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Output pressure varies high and low. (continued) Discharge nozzle is obstructed. Blow out or remove debris with a fine needle. Calcified gun, hose or power nozzle. Run distilled vinegar through detergent tank. Unit does not reach high pressure. Diameter of garden hose is too small. Add more detergent. Detergent bottle or suction tube not properly connected. Check connections. Detergent is too thick. Dilute detergent.
troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Motor buzzes but fails to run. Supply voltage below minimum. Verify that only the pressure washer is running on this circuit. System has residual pressure. Turn unit “OFF”, squeeze trigger on spray wand to release pressure, then turn unit “ON” Voltage loss due to extension cord. Unplug any extension cords attached and plug the unit directly into the outlet. Pressure washer not used for long periods. Call the Toll-Free Hotline.
